Our guide Danny was great. She was very encouraging, knowledgeable and kind. Well organized. - Kayaking through the mangrove and kayaking into the sunset. Company was well organized. Kayaks were comfortable. Danielle was a very good guide.

Great passion for the island - We went with Gabriel. He was very knowledgeable of the island and the mangroves and has a great passion for it. He showed us really cool animals and explained the nature of the island. Definitely worth the price.

Fantastic experience - This was the highlight of our holiday, we got to see flamingoes, different types of heron and even had a young crocodile swimming a few metres from the kayak. The trip was very well organised, with our friendly guides picking us up from the hotel and taken to the waterfront. We paddled along the large stretch of water between the promenade and the sandbank so we felt perfectly safe. There was us and one other couple and we could go at our own pace. Fantastic experience that we would recommend to anyone going to Holbox, although we were paddling for 3 hours so your do need a certain level of fitness.

Magic moment - The mangrove excursion in Kayak was amazing. We saw many birds, eagles, crocodiles… David the guide, was exceptional and very professional. It was a magic moment in our vacation surrounded by wild nature to preserve.

One of the many amazing things to do on Holbox - Holbox Island is a gem - I'm hesitant to review anything related to it, because in ten years it might be full of high-rise developments and tourists. For now, though, it is a fantastic blend of authentic Mexican culture, fantastic dining, and an international set of travelers. Kayaking was a great experience - one of many.

If you love nature, you don’t want to miss this - Definitely a special experience to get into the beautiful mangroves of Holbox. There is sooo much wildlife - in the ocean, along the banks and in the air. Our guide was really passionate and we learned so much. We saw crocodiles, horseshoe crabs, string rays and lots and lots of birds. We kayaked approx 7km in total- I’m not gonna lie we were exhausted at the end of it but kayaking back into the sunset and seeing all the wildlife that we did made it worth it!

Excellent Wildlife Tour - Had a really excellent tour with Ivan. It was just me and my girlfriend booked in at this time so we were lucky to have a private tour. We saw flamingoes, spoonbills, herons, horseshoe crabs and even a crocodile, as well as many other birds. Amazing to see all this wildlife in a well preserved natural ecosystem. Ivan was a very knowledgeable and passionate tour guide, who explained a lot about the mangroves and the wildlife there. Great value and a very enjoyable tour.

Great afternoon of Kayaking & adventure - Great afternoon Kayaking with David, very insightful and fun tour. Found about lots of new species of animals! Would recommend defo one of the best things we done on Holbox.

Paid for the tour but never got to do it!!!!! - We purchased the kayaking mangrove tour and they asked for the money upfront. The next morning they supposedly came to pick us up at our hotel but we thought they were coming at 7 but they came at 6:45. When we called them they said they already came and its too bad we missed out tour! We already paid 1200pesos upfront and they didnt even give us the option for money back, different tour choice or anything. They took our money but no tour!! We were really upset with the service and that we lost our money and tour!

Much more difficult than advertised. - This was something we had looked forward to before our holiday and saved until the last night. Unfortunately we had a terrible experience. As seen in a previous review, we simply could not keep up. The tide was high and the conditions were choppy (even though it looked fine from the shore). We trailed behind most of the time and when the guide stopped to wait for us, when we caught up, they began paddling immediately meaning that everyone else was getting a rest except us (we were exhausted). The paddle to the mangroves was long and hard. We got to the mangroves and saw flamingos, but not much else. Anything we saw wasn’t as effective as we were so exhausted. We stopped for maybe 10 mins twice on the whole trip, and everyone sat in complete silence. The guide said nothing or explained much about anything we were seeing. The paddle back was intense. As we turned to leave the mangroves, the tide was rushing in meaning the whole journey back was padding against the current, when we were already exhausted. The guide told us we couldn’t stop and it was because if you stopped paddling, you’d be carried back in. The incredible sunset was the only saving grace. I’d like to add that we are in our late 20s/early 30s and are not unfit. We also own a kayak at home and have a good amount of sea kayaking experience. This is not for the faint hearted, be prepared for a long hard slog with little rest. With a little warning or preparation by the guide or company we could’ve prepared much better. If you don’t have a high level of fitness avoid at all costs.
